Keke Palmer Shines in One of Them Days

One of Them Days Movie Review One of Them Days premiered at number two at the box office with Mufasa: The Lion King rising to the top again after being dethroned by Den of Thieves: Pantera the previous weekend.  Listen below now! One of Them Days starring Keke Plamer and SZA is produced by Issa Rae, the mastermind behind HBO’s hit Insecure. The film follows the two best friends and roommates as they navigate a wild and crazy day trying to gather their rent money so they do not get evicted. It is currently doing well with moviegoers staying with a strong 94% from Rotten Tomatoes and 7.2/10 from IMDb. The cast is popping with fan favorites from Katt Williams to Keyla Monterros Mejia to Lil Rel Howery. I was excited to see Joshua David Neal get his break because I have been watching his talents on TikTok for the past few years, and he’s got skills behind the camera more than in front of it.  One of Them Days is worth the high audience marks. I laughed out loud a few times in larg...

The Circle of Sound: A Review of Mufasa: The Lion King Soundtrack

  Mufasa: The Lion King Sound Track So by now, you know how much I adore Mufasa: The Lion King. It is leaps and bounds better than the live-action version of The Lion King. However, that soundtrack though!  Listen to podcast now. Spoilers included. It is composed by none other than Lin-Manuel Miranda and that might make me biased because of how much I love the music for Hamilton and Encanto. Mind you this soundtrack only has seven tracks but each one is impactful.  Ngomos- I loved this opening to the film because it took me back to the first time I went to the movies. It was to see Coming to America and I got the same feeling from the beginning of that movie when Mbube Wimoweh by Ladysmith Black Mambazo started playing. It was more of a nostalgic moment for me but a great way to start the movie.  Milele—This is a beautiful song that takes the time to lay the groundwork for the viewer to see and be a part of Mufasa’s destiny. I also really enjoyed hearing Anika Noni R...

Mufasa: The Lion King- A Majestic Prequel Worth Roaring About

Mufasa: The Lion King- A Majestic Prequel Worth Roaring About Subscribe, like, share. Available on most streaming platforms . LISTEN NOW Mufasa: The Lion King tells the story of a young Mufasa’s journey to become the Lion King. Along the way, the audience learns how Scar became Scar and how the two brothers came to have a falling out. Before I get into the spoilers, I have to say that I enjoyed the cinematography and setting. The voice acting was on point. I was surprisingly impressed with Blue Ivy as the voice of Kiara. Upon first watching, I gave it a 7/10 but then went home, and listened to the soundtrack after which I watched it again in the theaters. I definitely had a much more enjoyable experience the second time around because I was ridiculously engaged. I might as well have been one of the kids at that point. I have to say, this was so much better than The Lion King live-action.  The soundtrack track is a banger. Lin Manuel Miranda strikes again. Beyoncé can't act Blue Ivy...

Exploring Looper’s Ultimate Sci-fi Countdown: A Dive into the Top 107 Best Sci-Fi Movies Part 2 Subscribe, like, share. Available on most streaming platforms Listen Now: My first look into Looper’s list was last June 2024. Check out Part 1 . Obviously, I should have looked at the rest of the list to create a part 2 review long ago but here we are. Over six months later, they have updated from 98 to 107 which is understandable since new movies continue to make an entry. Will there be a part three? Yes, but I will try not to wait so long for the next installment before they change it up again. Link to the full article is below.
